Living, Loving, Learning & Leading
Today has contained a number of frustrations, not least of all scraping the car and bursting the rear tire. In itself no big deal, but combined with accidentally deleting some stuff I needed on my mac (arragh), dealing with uniforms covered in paint and burning the kids’ tea, I’m ready for another holiday!
Am reminding myself of all the lovely things I enjoyed last week - the four of us having time together, zipping down water slides and cycling down forest paths, good coffee and yummy ice creams, the kids’ excitement at the ducks who paid us a daily visit, and being able to take time out from a hectic schedule.
Sometimes it’s important to be thankful for the small things. And the One who reminds us of precious moments which take our minds off big stressful stuff.

Johnny and Hannah reside in Essex with their gorgeous kids Noah and Esther. They love to connect with people and make an impact in their local community. Johnny is a church leader with a passion for communicating truth and encouraging people in life-long obedience to Jesus, whilst Hannah keeps the family together and is busy with women's ministry and writing projects. They love life, music, movies, coffee and books, preferably not all at the same time!

Thinking and praying for you after that ‘fun’ day!

It’s soooooo irritating the way some things just seem to happen all at the same time isn’t it. Just when you think you’ve handled one annoyance, another slips in there!! Presumably some of the deleted stuff includes your previous webpage entry????
Just keep focussed on the good stuff - and Him of course! See you later. P x

Yep, all that “Reflect, resolve, renew” stuff disappeared & sometimes it’s hard to remember what you wrote…a definite reason not to abandon paper journalling! However, my ducks survived somehow so I just revised the text a little (but I am still reflecting…!)
